IT Training

An exclusive partnership with IDesign is set up to bring the best training to Belgium. IDesign’s Master Classes are usually 5 days of hands-on training, and are the world’s most intensive, most comprehensive .NET training classes. There is simply no substitute for being trained by the world's leading experts in the subject, and the IDesign architects offer a profound insight on the technology and its applications. The material presented goes well beyond anything that can be found using conventional training sources often presenting IDesign's original techniques and breakthroughs. In addition to the frontal presentations, the classes use lab exercise and numerous conceptual demos and original tools and utilities. The demos are useful not only in training but afterwards, serving as a starting point for new projects, and as a rich reference and samples resource.

WCF Master Class

Michael Montgomery

Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) is Microsoft's implementation of set of industry standards defining service interactions. But fundamentally, WCF is nothing short of the new .NET, a better way of writing applications. The training starts by explaining the motivation for WCF, and then continues to discuss in depth how to develop service-oriented applications using WCF. You will see how to take advantage of built-in features such as service hosting, instance management, asynchronous calls, synchronization, reliability, transaction management, disconnected queued calls, security as well as emerging technologies like cloud computing and the Windows Azure AppFabric service bus. While the training shows how to use these features, it sets the focus on the ‘why’ and the rationale behind particular design decisions, often shedding light on poorly-documented and understood aspects. You will learn not only WCF programming, but also relevant design guidelines, best practices, and pitfalls. The material presented includes IDesign's original techniques, extensions and utilities and goes well beyond anything you can find in conventional training sources. The objective of the training is not to just make you a WCF expert, but also a better software engineer.

This course is a deep dive in every architecture aspect of the Azure Platform-as-a-Service components. It delivers the needed insights and guidance into building a correct architecture for implementing cloud applications on Azure. Participants will learn the innerworkings of the platform and be able to make advantage of all the service available in Azure. This course goes beyond the basics, is based on real life and practical experiences in multiple Azure project and results in reusable reference architectures and visual studio solutions.
